2021 Chateau Tertre Roteboeuf - Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classe

WeinWisser – 18,5+/20pts – GL, TW: *80 % Merlot, 20 % Cabernet Franc. Dicht verwobenes Bouquet, schwarzbeerige Konturen, dunkles Graphit, verführerische Walderdbeere, getrockneter Thymian und Iris-Duft. Am komplexen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, fein pfeffrigem Extrakt, balancierter Rasse und engmaschigem Tanningerüst sowie athletischem Körper. Im konzentrierten, langanhaltenden Finale Wildkirsche, geröstete Himbeerkerne, Graphit und erhabene Adstringenz. Ich bin von der grandiosen Klarheit und Eleganz völlig gefesselt, kann noch zulegen.* – 04/2022

JancisRobinson.com – 16,5+/20pts – JL: *80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. Cask sample. Less overblown than some years but recognisable house style. Rich and gourmand with mouth-filling red fruit, the toasted oak present but integrated. Fine, silky tannins and reasonable length. Early-drinking pleasure but should age a bit as well.* - 04/2022

Thewinecellarinsider.com – (93-95) pts – JL: *Flowers, spice, crushed stone, savory red fruit, raspberries, 5 spice, cinnamon, cherries and peppery spices create on the most compelling noses of the vintage. On the palate, the wine is earthy, lush, round and continues in the spicy mode in the mid-palate all the way through to the finish. The blend is 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, 14% ABV, the harvest took place October 5 - October 15. Drink from 2024-2045.* - 05/2022
